Boston: Houghton Mifflin, 1972. First Edition. Hardcover. Very Good+/Good+. VG copy in DJ with soiling to spine and lower front panel. With the initials TC in pencil to front endpaper and tag laid in from Bonham's auction house. From the library of Truman Capote (auctioned off in parts in New York at Bonhams on November 9, 2006). Following Capote's death in 1984, many of Capote's belongings, including his library, were passed on to his dear friend Joanne Carson (wife of Johnny Carson). She became "the loving custodian of these treasures" for several decades until they were dispersed by Bonham's. A nice opportunity to acquire a book from the library of one of America's most colorful and controversial authors.
